Continuous Estimation of the Crack Growth Rate during Rotating‒Bending Fatigue Testing

A method for estimating the crack growth rate in steel during rotating‒bending fatigue testing is presented. Constant deflection tests were conducted in which the initial load remained constant prior to crack nucleation, when it decreased as the crack grew. In the proposed approach, steel samples we...
